Re: Looking for Riley William Allen

The marriage record for this couple is in Cherokee Kansas.Riley Allen married Canarissa Heape 16 Nov 1872.In 1880 they are still living in that county in the town of Mineral, page 545D of the census.I first found this on the census index, and I was puzzled by two of the names.I then looked at the actual census and found it to be the same.After finding the marriage record the wife's name was the same there also.Riley is a farmer, age 28, born IL, with parents born GA and KY.Canarissa is 27, born IL, with parents born in Ohio.Children are Laurence E. Allen, age 6 (shown as a female), Millie 4, and Oscar 2, all born in Kansas.
